Head along to Rockstar social club and download their new game launcher, and you'll get a copy of GTA San Andreas for free.
If there's anyone who hasn't already bought the game several times over and not played it, that is.

I subscribe to a few tech YouTubers. Linus Tech Tips from Canada. Lazy Gamer Reviews is quite funny. Retro Man Cave for old school pc restorations and games. Ashens is a must, and I love his Poundland specials, and food specials. Also Techmoan for old music kits, the 8 Bit Guy, and Nostalgia Nerd.
Finally, I subscribe to Metal Jesus Rocks. He's a heavy metal enthusiast, and also collects retro games and consoles. I don't watch him often as his style and voice can annoy me, but he has a great retro consoles collection, and does some fantastic games.

With me it's a few classic types, like Castlevania, and a lot of JRPG's. I know I should love them. I know they have rave reviews, and a huge fan base. But I can't get into them. With JRPG's, it's primarily grinding that gets on my tits.

I just thought I'd put in a post to let you know what I'm doing. And it's kinda sad, lol. I'm hooked on Eve Online!!! I've got loads of games digitally (Steam, Uplay, Ubisoft, Xbox One) and also subscribe to the Xbox game pass, and all I'm playing at the mo is Eve.
To be honest I've wanted to play this game for years, but I've only just found out it now has gone free to play. It still has the subscription model and the free gamers are locked down in how far they can go, but I'm having so much fun with it. Even when I got my ass handed back to me after losing a destroyer class ship that cost me 3 million ISK once it was kitted out.
I will come away from.it at some point. I want to play Gears 5 while it's on game pass, and Borderlands 3 has just come out too.
Also, I'm writing an article that I hoped to post here. I did one a while ago about graphic engines that seemed to go down well. This article is about the humble blue LED. Sounds boring eh? But you'd be surprised how much modern tech would not be around if this little thing was not perfected.

I've just seen the Switch Lite reveal. While I think it's a good idea, and will sell well, I've been thinking of getting a switch for a while, and it doesn't make me want tosave a few quid and get it. I'm still gonna buy the old version.

Not exactly Steam sale, but i just bought the Atari Vault for like £2.50 on Fanatical. Wow, I've forgotten how hard some of those old games are. ITt's about 25 classic Atari cabinet games, and a fuck-ton of old 2600 games. It goes well with my Megadrive vault.

I had a PC upgrade while i was away from the site. I thought I'd let you know my new rig. My new machine has an Intel Core i9 9900K 3.6 Ghz 8 core processor, which I've overclocked to near 4 Ghz. I'm running it with a Corsair hydro H100X water cooling loop. Not a full water cooling rig, just the CPU which outputs the coolant to a separate radiator/fan set up. This is on an Asus board with 16Gb of DDR4 ram. Added to that I have a Samsung 500GB SSD, and two 1TB Western Digital hard drives. The graphic card is an N-Vidia G-Force GTX1060-6g with 6GB of onboard ram, made by Asus. The operating system is Windows 10 pro 64bit with the new May update. And just for shits and giggles, I bought an RGB gaming keyboard and mouse, the keyboard having Cherry MX blue keys. It's a little noisy, but lovely for typing.
The monitor is still my old 26 inch LCD Toshiba TV. I know I can get a better scfeen. My son has just bought a Samsung 4K curved PC screen that looks buttery smooth, but I had to save money somewhere. I bought a new Xbox One gamepad to use for PC gaming, replacing my aging Xbox 360 pad which had bad drift on the left thumbstick after years of use.
Of course Steam, Uplay, Origin, GOG Galaxy, Epic launcher, and Besthesda launcher are all installed. I'm waiting to see if GOG's unified launcher service, which ties in all the storefronts, will be worth having.

I've just bought it on GOG, and I'm having a blast with it. I love the whole aesthetic of it. I'm just old enough to remember those old 30's cartoons being on the TV, before the PC brigade got them all taken out of rotation.
